Born from pedagogical practice to be a possible tool, a workshop artifact, the text that is now read in book form is part of an assumption to whose study we dedicated ourselves elsewhere: that the world we live in is a story shaped world, a world formatted by narratives. To understand and explain such a World implies, therefore, that we understand what the narratives that tell us about it are made of and what has led us to give them certain forms and structures.
